Message:Hi team,
I am working with a startup pharmaceutical company that has been approached by a larger partner.
Larger partner has a high quality problem, in that they received $XXX,XXX,XXX upfront payment on a drug that they have late in development.
They have expressed a strong interest in minimizing their current taxable income in structuring a deal with us.
Can anyone speak to this?
How can we front-load R&D expenses this year?
Is it as simple as invoicing them for services Rendered (as opposed to To Be Rendered - prepaid)?
Thanks very much,
Chris Kelly
